Ionic-FAQ
How is an ionic foot detox supposed to work?
An ionic foot detoxes works by pulling the toxins out of your body through your feet. The ionizing machine works to ionize the foot bath water. It is a safe and relaxing way to clear out the body.
This process gives the hydrogen in the water a positive charge. The positive charge would attract the negatively charged toxins in your body. The ions in the foot bath water supposedly hold a charge that enables them bind to any heavy metals and toxins in your body; similar to how a magnet works. This allows the toxins to be pulled out through the bottoms of your feet.
